Last Updated: August 24, 2026
Definitions
The term 'Opendatabay' or 'us' or 'we' refers to the owner of the marketplace whose registered office is 7 Hungate, Beccles, NR349TT, United Kingdom.

Platform Fees & Commission Schedule
Opendatabay applies a tiered commission structure on dataset sales, API calls, and data access fees. The applicable commission decreases progressively as the transaction value increases, providing lower effective rates for higher-value transactions.
The applicable fee is calculated based on the individual transaction value, not on monthly or cumulative sales.
The commission schedule is:
| Sale Price | Opendatabay Fee (%) | Seller Receives (%) |
|---|---|---|
| £1 - £100 | 30% | 70% |
| £101 - £1,000 | 30% → 25% | 70% → 75% |
| £1,001 - £10,000 | 25% → 20% | 75% → 80% |
| £10,001 - £25,000 | 20% → 15% | 80% → 85% |
| £25,001 - £50,000 | 15% → 10% | 85% → 90% |
| £50,001 - £250,000 | 10% → 5% | 90% → 95% |
| £250,001 and above | 5% | 95% |
For transaction values within a range, the applicable percentage is determined progressively within that range. The exact fee and resulting seller payout are displayed when a Data Provider sets or updates a product price.
After deducting the applicable platform fee, the remaining balance is paid to the Data Provider.
Opendatabay may also agree different commercial terms for bespoke brokerage or enterprise transactions where agreed separately in writing.
